Re: Stock Music (Featuring Erard)

Nicely done!  How do you get your horns and the rest of the band to play together so tightly? (Grin!) 

Latin rhythms have been largely few and far between on the Pianoteq forum.  While the Pianoteq instruments' purity seem to invoke the sounds of classical and jazz music, the Erard, the U4, the Y5, and even a slightly modified Petrof Mistral are excellent sounds to cut through the air with the salsa sounds of montunos, etc.

Thanks!

Low latency settings on your audio interface is key, as well as using quantization.  I use Cubase, which utilizes iterative quantization.  I set the threshold to about 60 for most uses.  Also, if sometihng does fell right I'll move notes around a little.  Glad you liked the song!
